positions with the Solaire Research Network

[AFA Filial Buenos Aires]

Dear colleague,

SOLAIRE, a Research Training Network financed by the European Commission, is
offering 10 contracts to pursue PhD studies on Solar Physics 
(supercomputing,
observation and/or theory) in the nodes of the network. Students from any
country in the world can apply; the deadline for submission of applications
is March 20th, 2007.

Please, find attached a pdf file with the official announcement sheet: we
would be grateful if you could post it on a public noticeboard in your
university or institute where it can be seen well by the students. Detailed
information on the network, application procedures and forms can be found on
the network's webpage:

www.solairenetwork.eu

We would also appreciate it if you could call this opening to the attention
of any students who might be interested in applying. We are distributing
posters of this opening to different institutions in the world. If you are
interested in posting one in your university or institute, we will be glad 
to
send it to you: please send a request by return mail, including your name 
and
your airmail address.

We are also attaching a text version of the announcement,
should you need to use it instead of the pdf version.

We thank you in advance,

Prof F Moreno-Insertis

level
leading  to a  PhD  thesis. The  research  of each  student  will be 
jointly
supervised by two of the network nodes, one of which will be in charge of 
the
doctoral studies.

The Solaire network is a joint initiative of 12 European Universities and
Research Institutes and a private R&D company:

Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (Network Coordinator), Spain

Max-Planck Institut für Sonnensystemforschung, Germany
Universitetet i Oslo, Norway
Observatoire de Paris - Meudon, France
Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany
University of Glasgow, UK
Università di Catania, Italy
Utrecht University, The Netherlands
Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary
Fluid Gravity Engineering Ltd, UK

Solaire is a Solar Physics  Research Network that uses leading-edge tools 
for
supercomputing,   ground-based   and   space  observations   and 
analytical
theory.  The research  of  the PhD  students  will be  done  within the 
five
collaborative research packages of the network:

(CP1) - Magnetic Flux Emergence from the Solar Interior to the Corona;
(CP2) - Magnetic Connectivity through the Atmospheric Layers
          and Field Extrapolation;
(CP3) - Magnetic Reconnection;
(CP4) - Solar Flares;
(CP5) - Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Interplanetary Dynamics.

Following the  European Commission rules for these  contracts, candidates 
can
be  citizens  of  any  country  in  the  world with  less  than  4  years 
of
postgraduate research experience  at the time of appointment.  They cannot 
be
appointed in  their own country  or in a  country where they have  spent 
more
than 12 months  in the past 3 years. Precise explanations  to these rules 
can
